Two hours later, Cronus was still fuming about what happened down the underground. He sat sullenly in one of the labs, glaring at the crack in the otherwise perfect color of the white wall of the room.Impatience was killing him. He had been here for almost twenty-four hours, and his body was literally crawling with impatience. The worst part was that they won't allow him to have some fun. He had been so excited about being included in the production of the drugs, the bullets that were made with the Segillaria Leaves he handed in that he didn't really care much about their plans because he was sure of the end game; The death of Wolfaraine. Damn he should have paid more attention when they were planning this shitty plan of theirs.So, their plan is for him to stay like this for the next three days, bored out of his mind and lusting after a human female who he apparently can't have—one who might even die from the drugs she'll be injected with before the Alpha King gets her—doing nothi
The council of Twelve assembled in the meeting Hall.Alphose and Adanel had called them after the call the Alpha King got. Wolfaraine has not said anything since he took that call, which greatly worried Alphose. Alphose asked him for the location he was given, but he said nothing—just stared ahead into space, his eyes filled with fury, his fist clenching and unclenching. In the meeting, they came up with the suggestion to trail the Alpha King while he goes to meet these humans. Every Alpha was in support of the decision. They went to fight alongside their king.But the Alpha King did not say anything.Thirty minutes later, the council Alphas went back to their clans to assemble their Sentinels. Adanel has also left to the Werewolf clan to assemble the Werewolf Sentinels together. Although Alphose longed to get back to his clan to talk to his warriors and also console Kassandra, who had been crying non-stop since the Rahinna Queen went missing the day before, he chose to stay behind
"Her body rejected the damn drug. She has been convulsing for hours." Dr. Beloca snapped, glaring at his colleague.Dr. Gideon's lips pursed together, staring at the prison cell. Their subject was puking all over the place. Again. "Obviously, MD4 does not agree with her. Maybe you should try the Zerolyte?" Dr. Gideon suggested."Can't. Zerolyte is supposed to work with MD4." Dr. Beloca glanced at his wristwatch impatiently, "I have to wait for at least three more hours before we try ClomidSH. We injected her three hours ago, but she didn't keep it down long enough for the damn thing to actually settle in before her body rejected it. This is frustrating, really."Dr. Gideon narrowed his head thoughtfully, "Did you check her for pregnancy when she was first brought in?" Dr. Beloca waved him off, "Those animals can smell pregnancy. They said she wasn't pregnant, and I believe them." He paused, "Besides if she was, she'll not only be puking, but she'll be bleeding all over the place whe
Horror followed betrayal. Did they torture the information out of her?Time started moving again. Wolfaraine caught two of those bullets and fisted them hard until they were deformed to ensure they were beyond reuse. Swiftly, he ran in the direction of THAT voice, sniffing loudly until he got to the man's exact location and pulled him out from behind a pile of bags of sand. A quick once-over showed the man was older than he'd thought. Probably early fifties."Try laughing now, human." He drawled savagely."What are you...!?" The older man began, but Wolfaraine shoved four fang-fingers into his neck and ruthlessly pulled out his throat. The man began making gagging sounds.Just then, more bullets came, and he used the man as a shield. All those bullets went into the man.However, one went through the man and entered his thigh—the same thigh he already took a rhodium bullet in. A groan tore from his throat at the painful sting. Instantly, he felt himself weakening. Shit.Wolfaraine le
Alphose hated seeing an older man or an infant cry, especially if he cannot do anything to take the pain away. He stood there helplessly, with Degar, watching Alfred sob like a child. They'd told the older man everything, from the tales of the Wild Psychopath down to the part the traitor played in his daughter's disappearance. It wasn't easy to tell her father, but they'd had no other choice.The man wiped his tears with the back of his hand, trying to get a hold of himself. Alphose extended him a white handkerchief which he took gratefully. "I failed her. I swore to her that I would always protect her... I vowed to myself that she would never go back to that hellhole again." He sniffled, "I failed her.""Don't blame yourself, Alfred. You are recovering from a near-death experience. It was not your fault. We are the people that failed her. She was in our land, our home. This was in a home that was supposed to be the safest place in the world before she was kidnapped. So if anyone is
His head whipped to his back to see Ismena stirring awake. He'd been in so much pain that he didn't notice her presence before. The sight of her calmed him a little bit.He shifted his body and focused on the small, fragile-looking body uncurling from the cold, hard ground behind him. A deep feeling of relief settled over him as he took in the sight of his woman for the first time since she went missing.She is alive. His Ena is alive. He noticed the bruises on her pale skin, and a growl emitted from his throat. She was hurt."Mena..." He groaned hoarsely.Ismena woke up feeling very weak. It took a great effort to open her eyes. She must be dreaming because she just heard a voice that sounded like her Wolfe's."Mena?" His voice came again, followed by a ruffle of movement behind her.Ismena's head followed the sound of that voice, and her eyes flashed when she saw him. He was lying down a few feet away from her in that familiar black robe of his, blood on his thighs, his eyes filled
Ismena just stared at him."What?" Clearly, her ears must be reacting to whatever drug these monsters injected her with because she was very sure that he couldn't have said what she thought she heard. Wolfaraine placed a hand tentatively on her belly, his eyes filled with awe. And stark happiness. "My child... My child is growing inside you.""No, no, I don't think so. B-But, I can't... Is that even possible?" She was at a loss for words. Her eyes lowered to the gentle hand caressing her belly, and tears filled her eyes. Is it true? She was so scared to hope."A-Are you sure?" She stammered out at last, her eyes pleading with his. It will kill her if this turns out to be some kind of a joke or delusion. Wolfaraine palmed her chin, pinning her eyes with his, "I know I'm badly wounded, I know my senses have dulled, so I understand your doubt. But I know what I smell. Your scent has altered, Ismena. That lavender scent can never be mistaken. Trust me on this, baby. You are pregnant."
"Listen to me, baby, we have to. These people must never find out that you are pregnant, and they will if you put on any kind of resistance. You only need to focus on me. Focus on me, and everything will be fine, I promise. Think of it this way; I need to get us out of here, and I can't do that in this condition. To heal, I need you. I need you, baby, okay?" "Okay," She nodded, sniffling. "T-That's better. I want to heal you. L-Let's do it." Then her eyes closed with a ragged groan as his tongue swept into her mouth. She focused completely on him. In her mind, their environment disappeared in a mist. His tongue caressed hers, licking at her until she stilled it by suckling at it lightly. God, she has missed him so much. Being this close to him after a month of being separated from each other filled her with so much pleasure. She tasted the dark spice that was uniquely his, her heart beating faster in arousal and anticipation. His head tilted as the kiss took on a desperate quali
